Lewis, Will County Team Up For Catapult A Pumpkin 2022

ROMEOVILLE, IL — End the Halloween season with a bang at Catapult a Pumpkin 2022 at Lewis University.

Will County and Lewis University have partnered for the seventh annual collection of pumpkins for recycling. Instead of throwing away your discarded gourds and pumpkins, you can bring them to Lewis for composting.

The collection will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov. 5. The Lewis Physics Club will be operating the catapults, which will launch your pumpkins away.

The pumpkins collected will be taken to be mixed and composted, according to Will County.

The event will also offer a drive-thru document disposal for paper shredding, and electronics recycling. There is a limit of three bank boxes of paper per vehicle, and two TVs per vehicle.
